Multi-tasking is one of the things she does best. On top of being a college student, finishing her sophomore year, she became a professional athlete. ”She made history by becoming the first women’s golfer to win consecutive individual NCAA national titles and her 12 wins in 20 starts saw her achieve a better strike rate than Tiger Woods who had 11 victories in 26 tournaments.” according to the Paris 2024 Olympics.
